After i enter in my credit card information to charge my $.50, the next page says:

Microsoft Account is experiencing technical problems. Please try again later.

After experiencing this error message 3 times now (and i bet charged three separate times) and seeing many others experiencing this problem without any posted solution, i thought i would post here to see if a support moderator would be able to assist.

Yes, I've tried this on different computers using different browsers.  Yes, ive cleared out my cache and temp files before.  Yes, all my billing information is there on my parent account.  The error is consistent.

Please private message or email me with the information you need.  I'd rather not post that information here for all to see.

Thank you for your time.
